I'm fine back to Chaucer. That's the earliest period where I can read aloud with confidence. For french and german, I struggle with anything before eighteenth century. My latin is only good for a few lines scattered in a modern work. Do I need to work at my dead language studies or should I just enjoy more accessible works? I admit to a hankering after Beowulf in the original but it is so far not strong enough for the study required. Intellectual laziness, I suppose. Hats off to Harry!
